The cover design for “31 Prayers for Healing” has officially been completed! You can see the thumbnail to the right in this post, as well as part of the animated image in the top-right of the webpage, and on the official purchase page for the website. The book itself is nearing completion. It still needs to be typed, formatted, and submitted for publication.
(Yes, that means that I hand-write these books initially, then type them up. I’m old-fashioned.)
The Scripture prayers for this book focus, as its title suggests, on the theme of healing. Of course, healing does not come from God via prayer the way a soda comes from a machine via a few quarters. The prayers in this book not only pursue the hope of health and salvation from illness, but also the hope of righteousness and salvation from sin, and especially the hope of peace.
Peace is very important for those who struggle with illness and disease. It is very easy for people fighting sickness, especially cancer and other severe, life-threatening sicknesses, to despair and worry about how they will see the next day and how their family will cope. Those are reasonable concerns, but peace comes from the knowledge that God has everything under control. Peace means recognizing that He is in charge and His plan is to be carried out for His glory; in some cases, that will mean that you are healed of your pains and can continue to glorify Him in your life (or perhaps begin to glorify Him in your life, if you have not done so thus far); in other cases, that will mean that your time to pass from this world has come, and this will be an opportunity for those who love you to grow in faith and trust in the Lord, that they may live their lives in dedication to Him and bring Him glory.
Whatever the situation, you will always need a little peace to help you get through. So while this book is “31 Prayers for Healing,” you should recognize that its prayers are meant to help you obtain some peace in your life.
